You can get the different types of food everywhere. Singapore is multi-cultural and the government housing is allocated by race so that there is a mixture of races in every area.

i did a thread on Little India somewhere. In fact if you read through the threads I have done already a lot of your questions would be answered.

Here it is http://teakdoor.com/malaysia-and-sin...tle-india.html

In fact I covered a bit of Chinatown in the 'my place to Tanjong Pagar' thread,
http://teakdoor.com/malaysia-and-sin...ong-pagar.html
but I suppose I will have to do the whole thing in its entirety one weekend.

Huh? Lurking?

Umm, I'd call it browsing while working . . .

For sailing info have a look at:

Singapore Sailing Federation

SAF Yacht Club - Where the Sea Adventure Begins!

Republic of Singapore Yacht Club

:: Welcome to Changi Sailing Club ::

and sailing.com.sg

Not a sailor, anymore, so I don't know about the scene . . but there are dragon boat races galore!!!!

how much do you want to spend? what kind of area?

i would recommend this website as all the prices are reasonable and they have most of the hotels in singapore covered.

Singapore Hotels & Resorts Reservation Service - Asia Travel

name a hotel you might be interested in and I will tell you what i can....

^ Robertson Quay Hotel is quite nice and is in a nice area . . . lots of pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk or right outside the place.

Good value for money

cheers for that as we been searching hotels on line for ages. someone recomended this hotel to us but have been getting mixed reports from the net.

at $100 aud per night it seems a good deal so i think we will book it.

That's a very good price for Singapore standards now, grab it. Singapore's hotel costs have been skyrocketing for many reasons and availability is in single digits, same as their rental properties.

Have a nice cold one by the river and enjoy!

robertson quay is a great location but the rooms are a bit small.

internet access was less than S$10 a day last time I stayed there.

breakfast was also included with the room but was nothing much to shout about.

i like the bar below the hotel. called the beach bar or something. very lomantic
